Would recommend to anyone wanting to take a stab at the wheel. The studio is beautiful and always very peaceful.

Very disappointing experience overall. I took two hand building classes recently. They're 8 weeks…read morelong, but in reality you have 6 weeks of time to work because the first week is the introductory info and the 8th week you're just picking up your glazed work. The teacher, Set, seems nice at first, but there's a lot of gossip about the owner, Jay, and other students. Do I really need to know that Jay lives in the building and is proud that he doesn't have a place to bathe in his space? Initially we were told that her Tues and Wed night students could come on both nights to work if they were interested. She said Jay a didn't know what's going on and if asked, just say you were making up a missed class. She then rescinded that offer when she decided that she didn't like me for some reason. I have no idea what I did to inspire this treatment, but Set told me I was "intolerable" and when I asked what I'd done she claimed I was harassing her. She got upset and said she was going to call the owner to get the police!! I can only think I ask too many questions and asked for her help too often. She tried to draw other students into the conflict by saying "WE". As a former teacher I find that so unprofessional. If I've ever needed to talk to a student about a problem, I ask the student to speak to me away from other students, not try to get them on "my side". I contacted Jay and after talking to her, his response was it seemed she was having a bad day. I'll say! Set knows where her bread is buttered. She is so proud of a huge bust of Jay, the owner, that took her 2 years to finish. We all had to go and look at it. She knows who to pander to. Overall she's a pretty good artist, but NOT A GREAT TEACHER. Never again will I take a class there. It's full of older rich white (suburban) women and those are just not my kind of people. I'm sad that I can't continue taking classes as it's very close to my home.

As of now you can't even have a similar experience to what I and others had. Because of the school's poor conditions and horibble management most of those staff and faculty have left or are in the process of leaving. They are losing faculty that have been there for several decades because of how little they actually care for there faculty and students. The management and maintenance for this school is in shambles. I know of many students, including myself that have been screwed by the school because of its poor organization and communication. The other reviews complaining about the cockroaches are absolutely correct. The miniscule two floors that this school bairly takes up are filthy. The old man that runs the place is too cheep and greedy to pay for custodians clean. The bathrooms were not properly maintained and the ones on the second floor smelled like raw sewage. The floors everywhere were visibly dirty and the student stairwell smelled like urine and nothing was ever cleaned. If you suffer from mental illness or need to work and attend classes at the same time they do not care. They don't have the resources to help you if you are struggling and their classes are too demanding and make it impossible to balance work and school efficiently. It's a shame what this school has become and the worst part is the people that run this place don't care. I truly hope this place gets what it has coming and shuts down.

I was surrounded by such positive, welcoming people of all ages. Throughout the night, we sang karaoke, played cards, shot pool and listened to good music. What really stood out to me was how safe, inclusive, and comfortable the environment felt. Everyone was so kind and genuine. But what truly touched my heart was how the community embraced my brother, who is special needs. There was no judgment only acceptance, laughter, and open arms. For the first time in a long time, I didn't feel like I had to be on guard, watching to make sure he was being treated with respect because everyone just welcomed. It was a relaxing night filled with connection and joy. I would absolutely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, warm, and safe space. Thank you for such an unforgettable expeience.

The organization for which I work recently held an event at Little Black Pearl (LBP). The support…read moreand service we received was beyond stellar! LBP provided the space, catered the food (via their onsite cafe, Carver 47), connected us to amazing balloon and floral vendors, and provided other accoutrements (e.g., tables and chairs, table coverings, a stage, sound and tech support, package management). LBP's one-stop shop especially helpful given that our planning team resided outside of Chicago. There is so much to applaud from the experience: the warm and inviting space exuded elegance; the feast was as beautiful as it was delicious; and the LBP team's interactions with us (from planning to completion) was the epitome of grace and hospitality. They accommodated every request and did so with an exceptional level of excellence. When we asked that the menu include a vegetarian and Halal dish, they ensured guests had multiple options. When we requested assistance erecting our banner, they took on the task of assembling the entire structure, even machine washing and drying it when they noticed a stain. Compared to other spaces we considered (and have used in the past) across the city, LBP's offerings and support stood head and shoulders above and their love was palpable in their attention to details.That they have a heart-centered mission and work in support of youth and community was tasty icing on an already amazing cake. Thank you, Little Black Pearl team, for making our event a world-class experience!
